Miss Rose Cleveland.

The Penny Press, Of Pittsburg, Pa.
publishes from Washington story
that Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland.
the presidents sister, is soon to marry.
Literary Life, during Miss Cleveland
term as editor, published story of "a
young clergyman's trial, and while
Miss Cleveland lived at the white
house she was frequently visited by a
divinity student, who was spoken of
as her protege. The story, and the
student, and Miss Cleveland are ro-
mantically connected. When Miss
Cleveland left Washington for Holland
Patent the young man was missed
from Washington, and it was learned,
upon inquiry, that he had gone to
Europe. He, however, returned about
three months afterward, and is now
stopping with relatives in Albany, N.
Y. He, it is said, is the bridegroom-to
be, and the wedding will take place in
April.
Shortly after Miss Cleveland came
to the white honse she met this young
man, and became interested in some
charitable work which he had on hand.
Soon after this Miss Cleveland re-
ceived the offer from Literary Life,
and asked her affianced his advice
about accepting it. The young gen.
tleman-who, by the way, belongs to
one of the oldest and most aristocratic
families at the capital-declared his
opposition.
hot hn mi ofn Aoti in of-
ed in the story referred to above was
this young lover of Miss Cleveland,
and the incidents and episodes appear
ing in the story were taken from actual
occurrences subsequent to and during
the courtship of the couple. In one
portion of the serial an affecting scene
was introduced, depicting little .'tiff''
which had actually occurred between
the couple before the final estrange-
ment, and which had terminated i'm a
victory for Miss G. through the use of
woman's weapons - tears and re-
proaches. The reproduction of this
incident in the story so worked on
the young mans feelings that he at
once started for Holland Patent, where
Miss Cleveland was then stopping, to
try and effect reconciliation.
The engagement was renewed. There
upon Miss Cleveland severed her con-
nection with Literary Life, and once
more everything bloomed as rose.
This, it is said, is the true inwardness
of the Literary Life affair, over which
there has been so much controversy.
The president is said to be pleased
with the match, and there is some talk
of the young man succeeding the Rev.
Byron Sunderland as pastor of the
church at which the presidential family
worship.

the best means. Teachers should be

Gen. Logan's Percentage.

One of the widest circulated of re-
cent paragraphs is the one recounting
the story of an old doctor in Southern
Illinois who sets up the theory that
Gen. Logan was affected in his char
acteristics by the alleged Indian bloom
of his fathers first wife. This doctor
has spun fine physiological theory
that children of second wife often re-
semble or have the traits and charac-
teristics of the first wife. He evolves
this theory in order to support his dec
laration of the traces of Indian charac-
teristics in Gen. Logan's makeup.
There is not shred of basis for the
very ancient doctors theory. Gen.
Logan was the son of an Irishman born
and brought up in Ireland. His moth
err was of Scotch parentage, born and
brought up in the State of North Caro-
lima. She belonged to the jenkins
family. Her brother was one of the
early Lieutenant Governors of Illinois.
Surprising the doctors theory true con-
corning the influence of the first wife
upon the children of second, there
would be nothing then to give Gen.
Logan any Indian traits. The first
wife of Gen. Logan's father was the
daughter of French parents. They
were pure French type. They lived
at Cape Girardeau, where number of
French refugees settled. Her people
were quite rich-that is to say rich for
that period. She (the first Mrs. Logan)
inherited large property from her
people. Her fathers first wife, whom
he married in New Orleans, had a
mother who was part French and part
Indian. She only lived about year.
The daughter that married Gen. Lo-
gan's father was the offspring of the
second marriage. The whole story
about the Indian antecedents can be
traced directly back to Gen. Logan's
fathers father-in-law's first wife. which
makes it pretty remote from Gen. Lo-
gan. 1t would take a very large amount
of physiological analysis to trace any
effect from this distant point to him.
The large property of Gen. Logan's
fathers first wife went to her own chill
dren. Gen. Logan never laid any claim
to this property. 1t was only short
time before his death that he received
lettle from some Western attorney
concerning property left by the first
Mrs. Logan, asking him if he desired
to put in any claim. The General re-
piled that he did not, and left the prop
erty. as he had always done, free to the
immediate descendants.-W Washington

Plain Living.

A lawyer by profession, but a Judge
in one of the highest courts in New
York for twenty-theee years, is noted
for methodical habits, legal acumen
and perfect integrity. Long past sixty,
erect and vigorous as man of forty,
he cannot count day lost by sickness
in quarter of century. At his post
as regularly as the sun rises, after ad-
journment he writes out the opinions
of the court, which already fill several
large volumes. No man in the city is
more worthy of the universal regard
which he long since secured.
Having long known Judge Blank, /
once asked him the secret of his power.

New Repeating Rife.

Herr Joseph Schulhof, the inventor
of new repeating rifle which was
tried recently at Enfield, leaves for
England tonight for some final expert
ments with his rifle, which he believes
may be adopted by the British govern
ment, writes Vienna correspondent
of the London Times. The rifle was
introduced to the notice of Mr.. w. H.
Smith and Lord Randolph Churchill
while they were in Vienna. and Herr
Schulhof was subsequently invited to
go to England. The experiments at
Enfield were judged to be most salts
factory, but some notifications were
suggested in the caliber of the cart
ridge, and these have now been effected.
/ saw the rifle tried this morning, and
to an unprofessiOnal eye it certainly
looks as if it could not be excelled for
simplicity and effectiveness. Without
describing its mechanism, it may be
said that it combines the two requisites
essential for such weapons, for it can
be used as an ordinary rifle as well as
a repeater. The receptacle for the re-
peating action holds ten cartridges,
which can be poured in with one turn
of the hand from a cardboard case.
The loading of the repeater can be
done in four movements-the fourth
being the turn of lever which stops
the repeating action. The loading for
single-shot firing is done in three
movements, and the action for reload
ing throws out the empty cartridge
case. Single shots are fired by a trig-
ger, while the repeating action is work.
ed by knob handle. All the mechan-
ism of the breech can be taken to
pieces without the use of screw-driver.
The cartridges, which are shaped like
small claret bottles, are OF a MILL
meters, instead of IL millimeters, as in
the Martini-Henry The weight of 1870
of them equals that of 20 of the Mar
tini-Henry cartridges, which is the
charge usually carried by soldier.
The rifle is to cost 60 francs, which is
about Is shillings less than the Martini
Henry. The use of the cardboard
cartridge box is to be noticed, for in
the Mannlicher system metal boxes are
| used, and if these get bent or denied,
as they are liable to do, the cartridges
| may stick in them at the moment OF
loading. This is impossible with the
Schulhof boxes, which are opened by
simply tearing off n piece of paper.
Moreover, the Mannlicher boxes only
hold five cartridges instead OF ten.
Il
